Our holiday begins this morning as we gather at London St Pancras International to board the Eurostar service to Paris in Standard Premier Class, enjoying a light meal at our seats. In the French capital, we transfer to the train to Basel, travelling to Switzerland in First Class.
In Switzerland, we travel onwards to Wengen by Standard Class rail. The scenery becomes more beautiful as we journey through increasingly dramatic landscapes. From Interlaken, we enter the gorgeous Lauterbrunnen Valley, where alpine pastures rise quickly towards craggy, forested cliffs and snow-covered peaks hone into view. The altitude increases on the approach to the wonderful railway station at Wengen, which has utterly spellbinding views from the platforms.
Arriving in the car-free town in the evening, our hotel is just a few steps from the station and shares those incredible vistas across the valley towards the Schilthorn. Our 4-Star hotel has a spa and wellness facility, a bar and a restaurant - where we enjoy our first dinner as a group on arrival.
